The United States Constitution Teacher Guide was made possible with support from the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation.

We would also like to thank Dr. Emily Chiariello () and Dr. Ebony Thomas () for their review of this Teacher Guide and for their insights and recommendations for resources and revisions, which have greatly enhanced this Teacher

Guide. We also thank Robin McClellan and the teachers and coaches of Sulllivan County. This OER unit is offered as a supplement to the core CKLA program developed by the Core Knowledge Foundation. The unit is not part of the current CKLA print program available for purchase from Amplify.

However, as we gather more feedback on how this unit works in classrooms, Amplify and the Core Knowledge Foundation will consider how this unit may be incorporated into future iterations of the core

CKLA program sold by Amplify.
